Abstract: A pipe cutter for forming end cuts in pipe, having a pair of annular torch holding members and an annular gear track connected to said members, and an annular vertically adjustable supporting member in which said torch holding members are concentrically mounted, said supporting member being rotatably mounted on vertically adjustable stands, and said stands being mounted on a pivotal base. The torch supporting members, having a cutting torch mounted thereon and a motor for rotating said torch supporting members, are mounted on said vertical supporting member, on rollers, said rollers being provided with braking means to control the speed of rotation of said supporting members.
Abstract: A device for loading revolvers from the front of the cylinder, a rotating cylinder in the revolver designed to releasably retain cartridges therein and to receive new loads from the loader and at the same time eject the empty casings. The rotating cylinder has a pivotal yoke and an arm extending laterally therefrom with a locking means for releasably maintaining the revolver cylinder in firing position on the frame. Guides are provided for aligning the cartridge chambers of the respective cylinders with each other. A loading cylinder abuts the revolver cylinder for reloading. A series of rams are provided which are movable against the reloading cartridges and which will contact the spent casings in the revolver cylinder and eject same. Casing retainers in the revolver cylinder will secure the reloads in place therein. A back plate mounted on the rear end face of the revolver cylinder maintains the holding means in the chambers in holding position.

Abstract: A device for tying eyes on fishing rods having a base member for receiving a plurality of adjustable rod holding members, and a rotating motor mountable on one end of said base member for rotating a rod held by the rod holding member and a shuttle for guiding the line to be wound on the rod in tying the eye in place, and a tension means for maintaining a tension on the line as it is being wound on the rod to provide a tight, neat tie.
Abstract: A device to be mounted on the back of a flat back vehicle for directing the air flow from across the top of the vehicle downwardly over the back of the vehicle thus preventing the formation of the usual vacuum to the rear of the vehicle.
Abstract: A well pump for use in oil wells, and the like, consisting of a series of cylinders connected by a production tubing and an air circulation system having two conduits extending into the casing-tubing annulus, each cylinder having an inlet connection through the top thereof and into one of said lines, alternately, so that every other cylinder is in the same line, and a four way valve in a control box at the well head, operated by an electric motor for alternating the flow of air through the respective conduits into the cylinders, the production tubing forming a dip tube in each cylinder, and check valves at the lower ends of each cylinder to prevent backflow, the bottom cylinder being the control cylinder having a fluid level controlled switch which activates the pump, sending a charge of air into the respective cylinders, lifting the production fluid therein progressively to the earth's surface.
Abstract: A device for holding flowers such as are employed in forming bouquets so that the holder and all of the decorations thereon may be made up in advance, so that all that is necessary is to attach the flower or flowers at the time of sale.
Abstract: A security device for use on inwardly opening doors, having a holding plate mountable beneath the knob of the door on which a bar is mounted, and a foot member, pivotally mounted on the lower end of the bar, is adapted to move inwardly a preselected distance from the door, and will direct a force upwardly against the door casing when an inward pressure is applied to the door.
Abstract: A radio operated remote control unit for attachment to a transmitter and having a second module attached to a transreceiver, which, through the use of a dual tone multi frequency signal, turns on the lights, or similar work, and maintains that status for a predetermined period of time. Also the electrical circuit employed to accomplish the said work.

Abstract: A bed for use in hospitals, and the like, wherein a patient may be moved to a sitting position, with the head portion of the bed raised and the foot portion of the bed lowered, the bed being in three sections and pivotal to permit the foot section to be swung outwardly so that the feet of the patient may be lowered to a natural sitting position.
Abstract: A leg support for step ladders, wherein a pair of pivotal members are mounted adjacent the top of the ladder for lateral support, extending outwardly and downwardly when in supporting position, terminating in pivotally mounted feet. The pivotal members are maintained in fixed position on the ladder by a collar, and set screws in the collar, and a sliding bar extends from one set of legs to the other, to support the pivotal members. Extension members telescopically connected with the pivotal members, provide means for selectively adjusting the length of each supporting member.
Abstract: An invalid feeding device for persons unable to feed themselves in the usual manner, having a selective means for transporting food from containers to the mouth of the person being fed, the transporting means being controlled and having self contained means for reversing the movement of the transport, and for disengaging the same upon completion of each cycle.
